This comprehensive, highly readable handbook simplifies the sometimes complex aspects of day-to-day life in China. Based on the experience of Americans who have recently studied, done research, and taught there, China Bound gives the invaluable "inside" information that only those who have been there can provide. Written primarily for students, scholars, and teachers, the book describes Chinese academic life and work and how Americans can fit into it. And, because it covers such a broad spectrum of topics?from customs regulations, taxation, and medical care to hotel life and how to get laundry done?China Bound is also must reading for anyone who is already planning or just trying to decide whether to plan an extended visit to China. Academic Library Book Review states, "China Bound is one of those books that is absolutely essential."

Bill Tang

A very knowledgable author

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 1998

I actually have not read the book. However, from viewing the 1st part of Anne Thurston's series on C-SPAN, I found her to be very objective and knowledgable about China. She has traveled to many parts of the China and has got first hand experience with the real people in China. Although this book may be a little dated considering the rapid changes happening in China, I am sure you would benefit from having this book if you have never been to China before.

Sorry, there was a problem.
